Part of what brings us happiness and success is having a willingness to be gradual.\u00a0 Do what is available now and appreciate it as a gain, improvement, or advancement of some kind.\u00a0 Celebrate your victories in the action cycle.<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article and blessing are taken from a previously published article that appeared in the New Day Herald in February 2014. It comes from a sharing John did in November 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you find yourself envisioning and starting to manifest, but stopping part way through rather than finishing?\u00a0 You may have a habitual pattern of not completing what you started.\u00a0 Because it is a familiar pattern, it tends to run like on a course.\u00a0 It is as if it has its own track, repeating itself, which in and of itself can be disturbing.\u00a0 You might ask, \u201cWhy would I recreate over and over again something I don\u2019t really like where I get disappointed and frustrated?\u00a0 Why go halfway instead of finishing?\u201d\u00a0 Instead, ask yourself, \u201cWhat would change the pattern?\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer is for you to continue.\u00a0 At the point where you might want to stop, you keep going.\u00a0 Notice markers along the way, such as how you got closer to the finish.\u00a0 Remember, we are not trying to do everything all at once.\u00a0 If you can, go for it.\u00a0 Sometimes we can resolve something instantly.\u00a0 But many times, it is a gradual process and it\u2019s important to note and honor our progression.<\/p>\n

Part of what brings us happiness and success is having a willingness to be gradual.\u00a0 Do what is available now and appreciate it as a gain, improvement, or advancement of some kind.\u00a0 Celebrate your victories in the action cycle.\u00a0 If you are done with what you wanted to do, but you don\u2019t acknowledge, celebrate, thank yourself and whatever helped you (including God!) then you are missing something.\u00a0 You are missing out on appreciating what you are doing with your creation.\u00a0 Part of completion is celebration.<\/p>\n

Do you have a reference from past actions where when you finished something you were harmed or betrayed in some way?\u00a0 That experience tends to set up an unconscious sense of, \u201cI don\u2019t want to finish because I just get hurt.\u201d If you experienced it as a death experience, where you carried it over as unfinished, it can hold as a pattern of fear into this lifetime.\u00a0 You may say, \u201cWhen I\u2019m successful, I lose.\u00a0 Something is taken away from me or they give me greater responsibility.\u00a0 I just had my first success and now they want me to do it better.\u00a0 And I don\u2019t even know how I did the first success.\u201d\u00a0 That is a fairly common process in which people feel set up for negativity by finishing and creating success.\u00a0 It is registered as an experience that did not work for you, rather than as an experience of joy in your process of completion.<\/p>\n

It is important to realize that you are growing and maturing as you gain your life experiences.\u00a0 You do not need to let things that happened to you when you were younger and less experienced govern where you are now.\u00a0 Have the awareness that the right thing to do, the correct approach, is to keep going.\u00a0 Choose to finish in ways that are complete and in celebration.<\/p>\n

Even if it isn\u2019t accomplishing what you originally set out to do, choose to come into completion and celebration, which can simply be an inner experience of satisfaction.\u00a0 That is one of the ways to work the karma, making sure it is complete inside of you and not just done outwardly.\u00a0 What is done in the world does not mean it\u2019s complete within.\u00a0 That is where acknowledgment comes in. Being complete means that you are clear.\u00a0 You can move on.\u00a0 There is a next step available to you, and you can move to that next step.\u00a0 You are not being held back or stuck.\u00a0 You are complete.<\/p>\n

In this path with the Traveler, we are actively finishing the karma.\u00a0 We are completing the karma so we can make our move into the oneness and love of God that is available.\u00a0 That means that whatever we created in our past actions, which we refer to as karma, we need to work out and clear.\u00a0 That is whatever we are carrying as the karma surfaces.\u00a0 It can surface on all levels \u2013 physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychically.\u00a0 That does not necessarily mean that your lifestyle and what you are doing is bad, wrong or needs fixing.\u00a0 It may just mean for you to have some patience with yourself.\u00a0 Your karma is at work, so things are surfacing to be completed and cleared for your highest good.<\/p>\n

Whatever you are working through from past lives is being delivered at a rate you can handle.\u00a0 If you are studying in MSIA, you have a wonderful support system around you.\u00a0 The MSS and DSS classes give you tremendous support and remind you how to keep going, work through and clear patterns of judgment.\u00a0 When you need help or support, call out.\u00a0 That\u2019s what friends are for.\u00a0 That is what we have in our ministries.\u00a0 Heartfelt reaching out to one another.\u00a0 Clearly that is going to help.\u00a0 Part of that is to do some of that yourself.\u00a0 Take care of and minister to yourself first.<\/p>\n

We are born with the blessings of health, wealth, happiness, abundance, prosperity, and riches.\u00a0 They are already in us.\u00a0 We need to learn how to claim them for ourselves and then stand up so that we create them.\u00a0 We express them in this world whenever we go into creation, so we are in a place that is finishing karma.\u00a0 Choose to be happy and healthy with what you have.\u00a0 If you can create more that helps, then do that.\u00a0 But we can have some contentment and appreciation for the blessings that already are.<\/p>\n

Karma is addressed in some way in just about every Discourse.\u00a0 The focus is on the law of cause and effect.\u00a0 What is it that we need as experiences for our learning and growth?\u00a0 We need experiences so that we balance whatever is off, where we are not in harmony or understanding the divine plan.<\/p>\n

God created it all perfectly.\u00a0 It\u2019s all in perfect order so that we are never in a place that is actually lacking.\u00a0 All the circumstances and conditions we ever encounter have something that we can use for our upliftment.\u00a0 One of the aspects of karma that we all need to realize is it is set up for completion.\u00a0 That completion would register as a loving consciousness that is honoring, blessing, and forgiving.\u00a0 Not holding againstness in any way.<\/p>\n

The essence is that God sets the tone for all of us by loving what it is.\u00a0 Consider that is the truth and not some theory.\u00a0 God\u2019s love is real, and it\u2019s real for every single person, place, and thing.\u00a0 We are all working out our creatorship.\u00a0 This is the level where we discover and expand our creatorship as divine beings, however long that takes.\u00a0 We take the divine energy that comes into us and issue it forth as an energy that goes to whatever we are looking at, wherever we are, and whatever we consider.<\/p>\n

We can attend to things in the world that are uplifting, honoring and respectful, rather than like a bother or irritation.\u00a0 Negativity often reflects our ignorance.\u00a0 Those are opportunities for us to wake up, pause and hold while we discover the blessings that are present.<\/p>\n

John-Roger gave us one of his great directives about the soul and Soul Transcendence, which is to look for the good in all people and things and leave the rest to God.\u00a0 I have said that for me, blessing is simply greater good, taking the unmanifest good and being a person who has the intention to make something better.\u00a0 When we do it through us into the world, that same energy field comes to us from our divine source within.\u00a0 We too, become a greater blessing as we co-create with God.<\/p>\n

Blessing of Wealth and\u00a0Joy<\/h5>\n

Lord, we are Your family and also, we are Your friends. So, we gather here for Your blessing.<\/p>\n

We just ask that once again You show us new experiences of Your light, Your love, what You\u2019ve called us to do in this moment in our creation.<\/p>\n

We take advantage of the opportunity that we have gathered with those who are on this path with the Traveler for the blessings of fulfillment, the wealth of going home to God, the wealth of having that spiritual promise fulfilled in this lifetime, the wealth of being amongst those who will come to our aid at our time of need, and that we would be those who would also do that in kind, the richness of our life, the abundance of our opportunities, and the prosperous ways it\u2019s manifesting, so we can be thankful for the little things and the great things all at once.<\/p>\n

Remove whatever scales may still be on our eyes, so we may see with the eyes of the Christ and the Beloved the richness of every moment, that we can notice that You are in the details. There is no detail that is not infused with Your blessing.<\/p>\n

We forgive ourselves for whenever we castigated and discarded whatever You brought to us as the blessing. We step into a new day, a new opportunity, our intention to follow, to cooperate, to step into this life every day in greater appreciation. We ask to be those who exemplify Your bounty. We can call it forward into the world in ways that people may realize that we are all in a field of glory, a place that has been infused from the beginning with great and ever greater blessings.<\/p>\n

We take a moment to open ourselves to receive. We let go of whatever we have in this moment, that we offer it up in whatever ways You may use what we have created for gain so we may receive in whatever we are to be given and bestowed with in this time and this place.<\/p>\n

We know You are our beloved Father, Mother, God, and we are those who follow in Your way until it is done.<\/p>\n
